Added 2024-10-23 21:00:05 +0000 UTCAnd here we are, the beginning of series 6 and it's a Christmas Special!
This was such a beautiful episode. I adored it. Funny, touching, emotional - it had so many wonderful moments. Just such a great start! I'm so excited to see where this series takes us π

I really enjoy this one. There are 2-3 Christmas episodes I watch every Christmas season. This is one of them.

2024-10-25 23:25:22 +0000 UTCThe fact that this show got a top-level actor such as Michael Gough demonstrates just how well DW was doing. And yes, I cried my little eyes out at the ending. Still do, in fact. We should expect that by now. Still catches us by surprise, though.

2024-10-24 14:29:30 +0000 UTCDefinitely check it out, my absolute favourite British TV series. Almost every episode is an absolute ride. Each episode is a 90 minutes film and there are 4 "seasons" of 3 episodes and 1 full length special (so, alas, only 13 episodes, but never cancelled, they merely stopped on a high - and I guess also because Benedict Cumberbatch and Martin Freeman became too famous and had many other (Hollywood) projects. The series has many references to the classic Conan Doyle stories but it's not necessary at all to know those.

2024-10-24 14:20:06 +0000 UTCThis is an exquisite episode, full of the "fairytale" ambience that Steven Moffat brought to Doctor Who in his first year as showrunner. It's also just such a pleasure to look at, thanks to the arrival of genius production designer Michael Pickwoad (who will be around for the next five series) heralding a major upgrade in the visuals of the show. About the only blemish in the story is the unfortunate case of idiot plotting whereby the Doctor has to somehow fail to notice the great big number counting down right on the front of Abigail's casket. Against that, however, is the reveal of young Kazran at the "ghost of Christmas Future" moment, which is a brilliant piece of writing (and a twist that I think most viewers fail to see coming). And it's hard not to be moved as the Doctor induces Kazran to become a better person by literally embracing his inner child... :-)

2024-10-24 09:47:59 +0000 UTCIs it best Christmas episode? Maybe, maybe not. Is it my personal favourite Christmas episode. Hell yeah it is!! Katherine Jenkins (Abigail) is the biggest selling Classical Music artist of the 21st Century, Globally! She sang all the parts herself. The wonderful late and great Michael Gambon (Dumbledor if you didn't already make the connection) said that in those last scene's, he kept flubbing his part because he was so enamored by her singing. Believe it or not, this is actually Katherines first acting role, and didn't she just NAIL it!!!

2024-10-24 06:52:23 +0000 UTCA fabulous Christmas episode indeed. Filled with hope and optimism and joy and tragedy and pain and suffering. And there's The Doctor, doing what he can to add a little more light to the darkness. One of the things I love about this episode is how it makes Christmas Day so important, without bringing in any religious connotations at all. "Halfway out of the dark" is such an important thing to celebrate and it explains why there is a Christmas Day across so many different planets and cultures.

2024-10-24 02:18:01 +0000 UTCCrazy we are about to step into season 6 next week! Where did the time go! I've really came to enjoy watching your reaction to Doctor Who. I hope you plan on watching some minisodes before Season 6. I think I remember seeing there being a few before the next season.

2024-10-24 00:34:10 +0000 UTCA Christmas Carol done the way only Doctor Who can. Great stuff as always.

2024-10-23 23:56:21 +0000 UTCI love how this Christmas special blends a story around Christmas, rather than just a regular story set a Christmas time, Eg. The Christmas invasion (10th doctors first episode). One thing I realised watching this is episode, is that one of elements that makes doctor who season 1-10 so special is how simultaneously hopeful yet sad it can make you feel.

2024-10-23 22:26:25 +0000 UTCThis special was aired a few months after the first season of the BBC series "Sherlock" (which was also co-written by Steven Moffat). The scene in the beginning where the Doctor deduces Kazran is afraid of his father is done very much like similar moments in "Sherlock". A beautiful nod to the other series.

2024-10-23 21:57:15 +0000 UTCThis is one of the best Christmas specials in my opinion. Possibly THE best. And a stellar performance from the late Sir Michael Gambon. Child me couldn't get my head around watching Dumbledore be so cruel when this first aired haha.

The Dog Whisperer
2024-10-23 21:40:31 +0000 UTCAlways look forward to my Wednesday fix. Yeah, this is a proper tear jerker, such a brilliant twist on the Dickens story.
